João Félix is set to start for AC Milan against Bologna tonight in what could be his final appearance for the club, according to Calciomercato.com. With Rafael Leão suspended and Christian Pulisic likely to be rested, Félix will partner Samuel Chukwueze behind striker Santiago Giménez.
The Portuguese attacker joined Milan on loan from Chelsea but has struggled to make an impact. After a promising start—scoring in the Coppa Italia against Roma—Félix has managed just one assist in 15 appearances, leading to a loss of confidence from coach Sérgio Conceição and a spot on the bench.
Despite praising the club and expressing his love for Milan in a recent interview, Félix’s future at San Siro looks bleak, especially as the club faces structural changes and is unlikely to pursue a permanent deal.
Nonetheless, interest in Félix remains. Flamengo and Benfica have shown signs of wanting to bring him in ahead of the Club World Cup. With his Chelsea return looming on June 30, agent Jorge Mendes will be actively working to find the 25-year-old a new home this summer.
